The article discusses former President Trump's recent efforts to negotiate a deal with Ukraine that involves sharing revenues from its natural resources, contrary to traditional U.S. foreign policy. Trump views this deal as a way to reclaim billions in aid given to Ukraine previously. His comments about Ukraine President Zelensky being a dictator and simultaneously seeking a meeting with Putin starkly contrast with Biden's administration. This situation complicates U.S.-Ukraine relations amid ongoing tensions over the war in Ukraine, which remains a key issue for Trump as he campaigns for re-election.
"We are either going to sign a deal or there are going to be a lot of problems with them," Trump said in a speech on Friday.
A U.S. official involved in the negotiations confirmed a deal could be reached fairly soon. "The two sides continue to engage constructively in the process. Top officials on both sides are focused on getting this done," the official said.
